The houses here were once occupied by the greeks until the 1920's when they were repatriated back to Greece. The Turkish people refused to live in the properties for the worry of them being cursed and so they have remained empty ever since. Most of the buildings are still standing but in a state of dilapidation. You can walk through the houses in the village up the hill to the church at the top giving you a sense of the scale of the village and what life was like and has splendid views of the landscape or over the back of the lagoon follow the waymarked signs to Oludeniz.
